Abstract
A farming machine including a number of treatment mechanisms treats plants as the farming machine moves through the field. The control system of the farming machine executes a plant identification model configured to identify plants in the field for treatment. The plant identification model is also configured to identify plants in non-ideal operating conditions. For example, the control system can identify and treat plants in non-ideal operating conditions where airborne particulates are present in an accessed image. The plant identification model is also configured to determine a particulate level in an accessed image and transmit a notification of the particulate level to an operator of the farming system. The control system generates a treatment map identifying which treatment mechanisms to actuate to treat the plants in the field. The farming machine treats the plants in the field according to the treatment map.
